Why I want to blog for CanadianGardening.com:

I fell in love with gardening about five years ago. Every year when the snow melts away and the perennials I planted the year before begin to grow (I hope), I am met with new learning experiences as a rookie gardener.

There are a lot of experts in this field everywhere you look online. I want to blog for CanadianGardening.com because I am anything but an expert and I want to share my triumphs and tribulations as a new gardener with others who are interested in starting out but who may be scared to kill something.

I'm here to say that I've been there and I've done that (a few times) and I still love it.

I am a chatty person and I love sharing stories with everyone. I write for my own blog and I write a monthly column about saving money for my community newspaper.

I am also moving in to a new house in April complete with a large area for a vegetable garden and I'd love to write about my gardening experiences in a new home.

This picture here is of me with one broccoli plant that I grew myself. It grew so large that I couldn't cut it at the base so I had to rip the whole thing out at the roots. The tag that came with the broccoli didn't say it was supposed to get that big! Regardless, it was delicious...

Thanks for reading.

I would love to read about your gardening! my husband and i started gardening, growing our own veggies and fruits, plants and such last year, and it has been so much fun being able to do so on our own, and watch our plants grow. I look forward to reading your tips about gardening!

I love to garden too and I am a total amateur as well! I think it would be great to get tips and stories from someone in the same boat!

I'd love to read along as you tackle your new garden project. I started growing my own vegetables last year as a way to save money and I hope to branch out to some flowers this year. I would love to read more from people who are just at the beginning of finding their love of gardening. I am 'rooting' for you. I found this contest through your website and if you are not chosen here, I hope you will be posting your adventures in gardening there.

I try to be a gardener but I'm not all that successful! Looks like you did well with that huge broccoli!

As a new gardener, I am so excited to see what you are going to write about. Your tips and advice are always so clear and easy to follow, and you are an "everywoman", I know that what you write about will be stuff I can do too. Financially, resource wise, and ability based!! I am really looking forward to this, keep it up!

I think a gardening article from a newer gardener would be great, especially since you're going to move into a new home and that will mean new soil to amend and such.

It is nice to see you like to garden. I love to read your stories, which you are good at writing. Keep doing what you love to do.
